It's most probably the heater core. Does his heat work okay?

think it is the heater core is that the only porssible reason for radiator fluide to be leaking into the car? i would probably need to take out the whole dash to even get to the components huh?

I think that's the only way. However, the core could be just clogged, thus having backup coolant leaking through the inlet/outlet tubes from the engine bay. Try locating the inlet/outlet passages on the firewall, disconnect them, and put a garden hose on one end. See if water goes through okay, and check for leaks on the inside again.
